Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　"I have an unresolved grudge with that Herrscher, and I hope to settle it personally."

　Mebius knew that Moros's power was enough to crush a thousand Herrschers into dust.

　But she understands even more clearly that this battle is not just about victory for her, but also about inner peace.

　She longed to be involved personally, to defend her and Klein's safety and dignity in her own way.

　"and……"

　Mebius paused briefly in his speech.

　Then, with an elegant and seductive gesture, she slowly approached Moros, stretched out her slender, fair arms, gently wrapped them around his neck, and whispered something.

　"My knowledge and wisdom may provide you with unexpected assistance in this operation."

　Touched by this sudden act of intimacy and genuine affection, Moros hesitated briefly before finally agreeing to her request.

　Of course, this was mainly because he was confident that he was strong enough to protect Mebius's safety.

　"Fine, I just can't do anything with you."

　Stroking Mebius's back and feeling her beauty, Moros turned his inquiring gaze to Klein.

　"The doctor's opinion is my opinion!"

　Noticing Moros's gaze, Klein gave his answer without hesitation.

Chapter 492 Moths Chasing Flames in a Coup

　Just as Moros was performing the soul transfer ritual in an attempt to save Klein, the kingdom where the gentleman resided also successfully completed its internal coordination.

　Subsequently, through a discreet yet efficient communication channel established beforehand with Councilor Wang, the gentleman formally conveyed their full support and endorsement of Councilor Wang's ambitious plan.

　With the support of the country where the gentleman resides, MP Wang was able to act without restraint and teach Dr. Mei a good lesson.

　A profound lesson entitled "Power and Politics".

　The 19th day after the arrival of the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of a Thousand.

　Tasmania, the new headquarters of the Firemoth.

　In the corridors of the new headquarters of the Firemoth, the air seemed to freeze. Every step was like a heavy drumbeat, echoing in the silence and striking the deepest fears and anxieties in people's hearts.

　Representative Wang, a political giant who once held sway in the Moth of Fire, has now donned a specially tailored bulletproof suit and led a team of handpicked loyal guards in a military coup that has shocked the entire organization.

　No, given the influence of the Firemoth on this planet, this military coup would likely shake the entire world.

　"The action begins!"

　Representative Wang's deep yet powerful voice stirred waves in everyone's hearts, announcing the official start of the transformation.

　While failure is considered treason, success is considered revolution.

　But for everyone caught in the vortex of this military coup, it was not just a political struggle, but an extreme challenge between life and death, glory and destruction.

　Their escape route was completely blocked the moment they made their choice; all that remained was to move forward, regardless of whether the path ahead led to an abyss or to light.

　Therefore, after Councilor Wang gave the order, the guards immediately sprang into action.

　Their figures moved like ghosts through the intricate corridors, each movement precise and flawless, revealing the tacit understanding and ruthless indignation forged through long-term training.

　Just as they were about to reach their destination, several elite guards of the Fire Moth appeared at the corner ahead.

　These guards' loyalty is rooted in the faith of the moths drawn to the flame, not in the feet of any single leader.

　At this moment, they stood like an impregnable fortress, firmly guarding the only path leading to Dr. Mei's office.

　Although they were unaware of the impending storm, their sense of duty as guardians made it impossible for them to ignore the unusual behavior of MP Wang and his entourage.

　Faced with these expected obstacles, Representative Wang's eyes remained unmoved.

　He coldly raised his hand, making a brief but resolute gesture.

　The guards understood immediately, a hint of malice flashing in their eyes.

　Immediately, they transformed into messengers of death, approaching the innocent guards with lightning speed.

　The gunshots erupted suddenly in the confined space, short and decisive.

　Every gunshot was accompanied by the loss of life, staining the area a bloody red.

　Blood slowly spread across the floor, like blooming red lotuses, adding a shocking touch to this brutal coup.

　However, Representative Wang maintained an unusual calm throughout, as if all of this was within his expectations.

　He knew all too well that on this thorny path to supreme power, sacrifice and betrayal were inevitable costs.

　Led by his guards, Member of Parliament Wang continued his advance toward Dr. May's office.

　Every step he took was firm and powerful, not only treading the edge of power, but also the boundary between life and death.

　Their figures gradually disappeared down the corridor, leaving behind only bloodstains and endless silence, bearing witness to the cruelty and ruthlessness of this power struggle.

　Finally, the group arrived at the door of Dr. Mei's office.

　The heavy metal gate, gleaming coldly under the corridor lights, completely isolated the ever-changing outside world from the tranquil peace inside.

　Representative Wang slightly raised his hand, signaling the guards to get ready.

　Then, he suddenly waved his hand, and the guards immediately sprang into action.

　These well-trained fire-moth warriors quickly and silently dispersed.

　Some of them looked around warily, their fingers lightly gripping their weapons, ready to deal with any possible threat.

　Another group focused on the unlocking tasks that Councilor Wang had pre-arranged.

　They skillfully operated the special unlocking program sponsored by the powerful nation behind the man.

　Under the special unlocking procedure, the protective barriers consisting of a series of complex passwords and biometric technologies set up at the gate of Dr. Mei's office were gradually dismantled.

　With a soft "click," the heavy metal gate slowly slid open to both sides.

　The next moment, a fresh and elegant fragrance of plum blossoms quietly filled the air, gently penetrating the tranquility of the room and creating a stark contrast with the tense and oppressive atmosphere outside the door.

　Dr. Mei sat quietly in her office.

　The soft light behind the desk bathed her in its glow, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.

　She looked up at Councilor Wang with an unusually calm expression, as if she had long anticipated this moment.

　"Councilor Wang, why do you..."

　Dr. Mei had barely begun speaking when she was interrupted by Councilor Wang.

　“Mei, the core power of the Moth of Fire is not a field you can interfere with. You should return to your original intention and focus on the scientific research path we hope for.”

　Congressman Wang stood before Dr. Mei, his words sincere yet exuding an unquestionable authority.

　This is essentially a showdown.

　Once his plan is fully in place, whether he himself is imprisoned or not becomes irrelevant.

　Given Representative Wang's understanding of Dr. Mei, whom he and Representative Eugene had both promoted, it was not unreasonable for him to choose to appear before Dr. Mei at this crucial moment.

　Dr. May is not Möbius; she understands the bigger picture and does not act rashly.

　Councilor Wang was certain that even if Kevin, the fusion warrior beside Dr. May, possessed the power to easily crush him, Dr. May would rationally prevent him from taking any impulsive actions.

　"So, this is your reason for leading a group of people into my office?"

　Dr. Mei raised her hand to adjust her glasses, completely ignoring the squad of Moths soldiers behind Councilor Wang and the guns they had aimed at her.

　"Mei, the situation is beyond your control."

　Councilor Wang waved gently, signaling the soldiers to lift the alert, his tone conveying both helplessness and determination.

　"At this very moment, all of Moth Chaser's branches throughout East Asia, North America, and even the British Isles are now under our control."

　After a brief pause, seemingly to give Dr. May a buffer period to accept reality, Councilor Wang continued.

　"As for the power you rely on—those fusion warriors—they are currently being held back by the thousand Herrschers."

　Although Councilor Wang had reservations about the sudden activity of the thousand lawyers, he quickly realized that these changes actually helped his plans, so he stopped investigating.

　After all, nothing else matters as much as the power that is about to be in one's hands.

Chapter 493 Clash of Beliefs

　Faced with Representative Wang's forceful pressure, a barely perceptible tremor flashed in Dr. Mei's eyes.

　With her exceptional wisdom and the detailed intelligence that Sakura had meticulously gathered, she had long foreseen that Councilor Wang would take extreme measures in an attempt to regain absolute control of the Fire Moth and to restore the lost system of authority.

　However, in Dr. Mei's inner world, a sliver of hope, which even she herself found faint, still lingered.

　She hopes that in this critical moment when the Herrscher has descended and human civilization is on the verge of collapse, people can temporarily put aside their personal grudges, join hands to face the greater good, and work together to resist the invasion of the Honkai.

　If we lose her wisdom and leadership...

　Dr. Mei genuinely doesn't believe that Councilor Wang and his group can lead humanity to victory against the Honkai.

　As one of the most outstanding sages of our time, Dr. Mei had long planned ahead and formulated multiple contingency plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

　But it was precisely these carefully prepared backup plans that filled her with contradictions and struggles.

　Dr. May did not want to see these powers, which could have been used to resist the Honkai, ultimately consumed by internal human conflicts.

　Therefore, Dr. Mei decided to launch one last attempt.

　She hopes that through sincere dialogue, she can guide MP Wang and his supporters to temporarily set aside their obsession with personal power and self-interest, and instead focus on the common challenge facing all of humanity—collapse.

　Even though she herself knew that the chances of success were not high.

　But humans are the kind of creatures that won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

　“Member Wang, you seem to have forgotten one thing—power can never be maintained in the long run by force or conspiracy. True power comes from the hearts and minds of the people and their beliefs.”

　Dr. Mei's eyes were as deep as the night sky, and a hint of indescribable sorrow flickered in her purple pupils.

　Looking around at the Moth of Fire soldiers who had followed Congressman Wang into her office, she felt a deep sense of regret for these elites of human civilization who had gone astray.

　She truly did not want to see these talented and fearless soldiers sacrifice their futures and lives for nothing, simply because of a dirty political struggle.

　Unfortunately, in order to lead human civilization to find a glimmer of hope in this increasingly crumbling world and continue to move forward, she had to suppress her heartache and make that extremely difficult decision.

　She could no longer remain tolerant and compassionate towards the elite moths who participated in this coup.

　As my thoughts raced, Dr. Mei continued speaking.

　"Admittedly, the fusion warriors you mentioned may be currently constrained for some reason, which prevents me from launching a strong counterattack immediately. But you overlook the fact that the trust and understanding between us is something that no external force can shake."

　"maybe."

　Councilor Wang

　He nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Dr. Mei's point of view to some extent.

　They had indeed tried to win over Alicia, Qianjie, Sakura, and other fusion warriors who were on Dr. Mei's side, but all those efforts ultimately came to naught and none succeeded.

　This undoubtedly proves that Dr. May possesses an advantage that politicians cannot match in winning the support of these Heroic-class Fusion Warriors.

　However, Member of Parliament Wang was not discouraged.

　He adjusted his thinking, changed his tone, and retorted.

　"But don't forget, the political arena is far more complex and unpredictable than the battlefield. Once I can firmly grasp the dominant position, even those fusion warriors will no longer pose a real threat. On the political chessboard, mere force is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat."

　Representative Wang's eyes revealed a profound understanding of political struggle.

　He clearly recognized that although Dr. May's Fusion Warriors were invincible on the battlefield, they were complete novices on the political stage.

　In the complex affairs of governing a country and planning social development, mere force is clearly not a panacea.

　Dr. Mei also has a clear understanding of this point.

　However, she was not swayed in the slightest by Councilor Wang's remarks; on the contrary, she became even more determined in her beliefs.

　"【Moths of Fire】, this is not just a simple organization name, it is our shared belief, the beacon that drives us to fight tirelessly for the future of humanity. Your actions will not weaken this belief, but rather, like a strong wind to a raging fire, will only make it burn more fiercely and attract more like-minded partners to stand on my side."

　After listening to Dr. Mei's speech, Councilor Wang's expression changed slightly.

　He had never expected that Dr. Mei would display such extraordinary composure and determination in the face of such a pressing situation, nor had he expected that every word she spoke would be so inspiring and soul-stirring.

　However, Councilor Wang is, after all, a veteran of the political arena. Having experienced countless political struggles, he has long since mastered the skill of keeping his emotions hidden.

　He quickly suppressed his inner turmoil, a cold smile playing on his lips.

　"Mei, you're too naive. In this world, there is no absolute justice or evil, only the victor takes all. Your so-called beliefs are nothing but fragile bubbles in the face of absolute power."
